A fantastic first novel- an incredibly energetic, funny, bitterly satirical, triangular love story set in the city of Sarajevo.
Thomas Leveritt is half-American, half-British. This is his first novel. He has won the Carroll Medal for Portraiture from the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. In addition, he has- programmed computers, aid-worked in Bosnia-Herzegovina, an Army Scholarship into the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, a Law Scholarship into Middle Temple, 28 cousins in Texas, and held the UK distribution rights for the very excellent beer Sarajevo Pivo.
Part love story, part hilarious political send-up, Leveritt's debut
is hectic, intense and verbally dazzling
*Guardian*
Brutal, crazed and hilarious
*New Statesman*
There aren't many debuts with this scope. Leveritt's take on 2003
Sarajevo is a nutty, funny and constantly inventive ride
*Matt Thorne*
Start reading and you'll be drawn into a manic tale of two
on-the-make friends who hightail it to Sarajevo... a debut
audacious enough to broach questions of heroism and justice
*Daily Mail*
Thomas Leveritt's debut radiates a certain clued-up, slacker
intelligence ... a chaotic combination of wisecracking irony,
effortless confidence and a casual, almost lazy informality.
Serving up political farce and human tragedy side by side, his
story of a city in which everything has its price unravels at
breakneck speed
*Metro*
